The Fire at Oahu college.

ED. PIC. ADvERTIsER-Sir: Your
reference to the fire at Oahu College in
this mornings issue is so much in error
that 1 ask to correct by a simple state
ment of the facts in the case.
On Wednesday evening, while l was
absent attending the Fort-street Church
prayer meeting; the attention of those in
charge was directed to the upper story of
instruction Hall by bright light
shining through the windows. AS this
hall is never used at night, two of our
young men were sent at once to ascertain
a fire in the main schoolroom. It vas
Immediately put out, the entire damage
being the burning of piece OF cocoa
mating half a yard square. Subsequent
examination showed that the fire was
the work of an incendiary, as kerosene
oil had been poured on the mating and
then lighted. The teachers in charge
efficiently directed the students during
the excitement, and quiet was restored
in less than half an hour. On my re-
turn at O'Clock made careful exam
ination of the situation and telephoned
at once to Mr.. W. r. Castle, asking him
to request Marshal Kaulukou to come
out if he could. The Marshal was so en-
gagged that he could not come, but sent
an officer, to whom gave the charge of
the building for the night. In the
morning invited Mr.. w. r. Castle and
Mr.. G.. NJ Cooke, both of them executive
officers of the Board of Trustees, to come
out Immediately after breakfast, and to
bring Marshal Kaulukou if possible All
came, and with the Marshal, Mr. Hop
kins. The room was examined and all
the circumstances attendant upon the
fire. The Marshal stayed until he was
satisfied in his mind that he knew all he
could gain then, while Messrs Castle
and Cooke remained till noon, going
over in detail all facts, and examining
all who were here at the time of the fire.
The results do not enable US to detect
the one doing this infamous deed, nor to
fasten suspicion upon anyone.
During the forenoon of Thursday some
one telephoned from the Bulletin of
fee inquiring about the fire. We were
then examining into the matter, using
the office, where the telephone is placed,
for that purpose. AT that time nothing
could be said, because of the situation.
When leaving asked Mr.. w. r. Castle
if he would call at the Bulletin office
and tell them about the matter. He
was detained on his way down, at his
home, and did not reach town until be-
tween and 3 O'Clock p M, and know
ing it was too late to insert notice in
the evening paper said nothing to them.
did ask the young people not to speak
unnecessarily about the fire, and told
them If any reporter interviewed them
upon the matter to refer them to Mr..
Castle, who was thoroughly informed
upon the whole subject. The officers of

THE PROPAGATION OF FISH.
The Process of Gathering Spawn De-
Notwithstanding Lake Huron.

The Process of Gathering Spawn De-
Notwithstanding Lake Huron.
The season for gathering spawn at the
Caledonia state hatchery for lSS6-oI
opened Sept. %. The salmon trout are
the first spawners on the grounds. 1t Is
an interesting sight to see the great fell
lows handled, some of them weighing
from IA to 16 pounds each. They enter
the spawning races at night, and 1T is at
that time the spawn is taken. The race
ways are kept covered continually, ana at
night between 8 and o'clock the net,
with long canvas bag, is put into the
raceway made for its reception. The
covers over the race are then raised and
the fish drawn into the net by agitating
the water with long poles, commencing at
the head and working down slowly to
ward the net.
The frame of the net is then raised,
which secures the fish, and the net raised
bodily from the water and the frame
placed over a large wooden tank nlled
with water The bag of the net is then
lifted up and the fish emptied out. The
assistants then handle them as rapidly as
possible, selecting the ripe females and
throwing the unripe ones back into the
pond again for further development.
While one holds the lantern in position
to throw the light into the pans, the
others manipulate the fish. 1t requires
t 10 persons to take spawn from the large
fish, one holding the head while the other
strips the spawn from them, great caution
being exercised in handling them carefully
so as not to injure them. The spent fish
are placed in a hand barrow filled with
water and carried to a separate Enclosure
so as to prevent them entering the races
night after night on a useless errand.
After the spawn has been taken the pans,
into which it has been stripped, are re-
moved to the hatchery trays made for
their reception. There are frequently
more fish in the raceway than can be
taken at one time, in which event screen
is slipped into grooves in front of the net
before it is raised, and the operation re-
peated as above described until all the fish
have been handled
During the height of the spawning sea-
son the screen is again slid into the
grooves of the raceway before daylight,
and the spawn is taken again from the
surplus fish.-Seth Green in American
Angler.

contracted for 105 men and 20 women
from the New Hebrides group, and ON
whose guarantee the Allie Rowe sailed
to recruit that number, or any other
number. We find that on the day after
their arrival here, Monday, March
18th, the Surprise took % OF them on
board for Hamakuapoko and 20 for Paia
plantations, Maui. This shows precon-
cert and accounts for 10 in all. Where
did the balance of them go? This TACT
should be made public to exonerate
plantations which have not participated
in this illegal traffic. Because it was
undertaken and executed with the full
knowledge t at it was against the public
policy, if not against the laws OF this
Kingdom; that it was contrary to the
public policy and laws OF the Nations
having control in the Southern Seas !;
and lastly, that it was undertaken after
the President of the Board Of Immigra-
ton in writing, in reply tOan application
for authority, had notified the agents
of the Allie Rowe that His Majesty'S
Government would not grant the per-
mission asked to recruit for labor, and
would assume no responsibility for such
an enterprise.
Who, then, contracted" for these I'M
known, ignorant and defenseless people
before the vessel left here; and how did
they expect to have their contract exc
cuted? Let the world know who they are
that they may stand in the public pillory
and pay the moral penalty of their act,
while the pockets of the charterers OF
the Allie Rowe are depleted by the re-
turn of every man and woman unlaw-
fully dragged from their native homes.
The Hawaiian Government has been
placed in a most unpleasant position by
this transaction. It's duty, however, is
clear and explicit. 1t must put an end,
once and for all, to this attempt to en-
graft the Slave Trade in modified form
upon it's industrial system. No response
BILE officer accompanied the Allie Rowe
to see that the people who shipped did
so of their own free will and accord T.;
that they fully understood the nature
of the contract they made, if contract
there be; that it was humane and liberal
in its conditions; that it included stip-
ulation for their return to their homes
that they were properly treated on board,
and would be protected and cared for
ashore. For anything one knows to
the contrary these people may be re-
duced to involuntary servitude for a long
term of years, and may be cast upon
public bounty when worn out by con-
tinuous labor and neglect. There is no
possibility of ascertaining the exact
facts because the "likeliest lot that were
ever landed on the beach" are ignorant
of the language of those who brought
them here, and evidently had no voice
in their subsequent destination. And it
is sheer nonsense to say, as the cher
ald'' does, that they came willingly be-
cause among their number are two who
were here before. Our contemporary
should know that decoys are a common
device in hunting, and it is by no means
an unknown device with hunters of men
in the Western Pacific.

SYIvia's Guardian;

A YOUNG GIRLS LOVE.
BY RETT WILDWOOD.

"Miss Dreeme is wanted in the recep-
ton ROOM" announced one OF the UNI
der-teachers, in a loud, monotonous
voice.
Sylvia rose from her seat at the open
window, through which the soft May
air drifted spicily. At least score of
girls were variously grouped in the
school-room, but she had stolen apart
from all. AT the moment of the inter-
ruption she had just erected acharming
air-castle, and was peopling it accord
ing to her poetic fancy.
"Who is it, Miss Briggs?n she eager
ly inquired. "My GUARDIAN"
Miss Briggs could not say. She had
simply been sent with the message, and
had delivered it.
The girls heart was beating rapidly
as she stole down the stairs and along
the gloomy old hall. What would her
unknown guardian be likep A thou
sand times had she pictured him in her
dreams. She imagined him tall and
straight, with a strong, earnest face,
dark hair, and eyes fun of tenderness
and truth-a kind, manly man, one up
on whom it would be pleasure to lean,
Would he equal her expectations? A
mist rose before Sylvia's eyes as she
stood at the door of the receptiOn-roOm,
afraid to advance. Her life had been
